Walker Stalkers disrupt another ceremony for the developmentally disabled

What in the world do these folks get for targetting the developmentally disabled? All Opportunities Inc. did was invite Governor Walker to speak.

This is the evening of the event.

I sure hope Wisconsin wakes up soon to the fact that a certain part of this population deserves to be ostracized because of the way they treat others. I have no sympathy at all for any of the organized union workers arguing perceived rights after watching what this group of protesters is willing to do.

What a shame the media pretends it isn’t happening.

In reality Walker personally has done nothing to the unions. The voters of Wisconsin elected him to do what he is doing. Events like this play very well to the choir — that would be the diminishing 14.2 % that union members comprise of the work force. But to the other 85 % of non-union workers and many non-working citizens, protests like this will win few converts to the cause. These are the same tactics used by that Westboro Church that shows up at military funerals–only difference is the cause.

The local paper described it this way and this way. The event wasn’t honoring the workers, it was celebrating the anniversary of the company. The protesters were not misbehaving to any significant degree, according to the local police chief.

One, count ’em, one, was arrested for pounding on the building. One was taken from the scene and released. “One Walker supporter was given the choice to leave or be arrested; he chose the former.”

I was most puzzled by this part. “The motorcade appeared to be traveling fast as it passed protestors and law enforcement officers along the roadway. Wisconsin State Patrol troopers on the corner acknowledged observing the vehicles’ seemingly higher rate of speed and subsequently spoke with the drivers, advising them to be more cautious.” The police kept the streets cleared. The protesters honored the company’s yellow-tape to stay off their lawn, too. So why does the presence of protesters allow the Governor’s entourage to defy the speed limit?
